Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the most effective model presentation format in behavior modeling to teach interpersonal skills in online learning environments. Four model presentation formats were compared; video, pictures plus audio, audio only, and text-script only. The effects of the model presentation were investigated in terms of learning outcomes, which were measured by learners' reactions; cognitive retention of learning content; and behavioral reproduction. No significant differences between groups were found in any measure of learning outcomes. The implication of the findings is that it is reasonable to use cost-effective model presentation formats to teach interpersonal skills using behavior modeling. Also, three possible moderating variables of the relationship between model presentation formats and learning outcomes are discussed.
